As part of the library’s mission to serve the community, and because the library is a designated warming center where people can come to find safe refuge from extreme weather, the library has recognized an opportunity to provide some unique community services. The Compassion Fund currently
- provides vouchers for use at The Cafe to Glen Ellyn Walk-In Ministry
- helps provide supplies for the Community Cupboard
Please note Compassion Fund in the “Write a note (Optional)” field on the payment. |
Community Cupboard
The Community Cupboard is a door-less cabinet in the lobby near the Library Services Desk that contains free items available to anyone who needs them. Available items vary depending on donations. The containers are intentionally not labeled, and the bins are clear so that people can identify the contents. People are encouraged to help themselves to items they need.
The Community Cupboard is totally donation based. No tax money is used to purchase the free items in the Community Cupboard.
